OC Weekly: When asked what percentage of UC Irvine's service workers are Latino, Amanda Novoa thinks for a moment, then says, "Well, just by looking, I'd say 98 percent, but I'm just making that up."
She's being facetious, but the intent is clear: A huge portion of the people who prepare meals, clean bathrooms and mow grass on the sprawling campus of more than 23,000 students is Latino. That's why it makes sense that Brown Bag Theater Co., a group of students and faculty advisers using theater to promote diversity, is putting its creative focus on a part of the campus population that is always seen but rarely heard.
